But it is still an Onyx, and Onyx's take 20 CPUs.  To say otherwise is like
saying that a PC can't handle 100gigs of disk space just because it doesn't 
have the internal room for 11 9gig drives.  Move it to a larger case, and 
voila.  Move you Onyx to a larger case, and voila.  And to my understanding, 
the larger case doesn't strickly have to be an Onyx case.
